Hello,
I just purchased a genuine Galaxy Note 2 (At&t version). I noticed that my phone is made in China, mos of the Notes 2 that I've seen are made in Korea. Is it common to have a genuine chinese Note 2? Any differences?
Thanks
All the Note 2's sold by AT&T, T-Mobile. Sprint, in the United States, are are Made in China
Verizon's Note 2 is Made in Korea
Shouldn't be any disadvantages; unless you want to discuss in respect to carrier differences.
I always thought Made in Korea was always best, not necessarily. Head over to Verizon's Note 2 forums and you can see that many are finding display issues.

well, how many smart phones, or any cellphone at all aren't made in China? You are fine.
Question in title.
I know the model number is SGH-I717 but is SGH-I717 the same as N7100?
I717? :what:
That's the note 1
If you mean I317, then yes N7100 cases will fit at&t note 2.

My apologizes I meant to say i317
All the versions of the note 2 are the same as far as hardware fit.
Yes, cases marketed for the N7100/N7105 will fit the SGH-I317 along with other GALAXY Note II models, as the hardware layout is identical. That being said, I'd recommend staying away from cheaper TPU cases or if you're buying in person, ask to try the case on first -- the reason I say this is because some cases aren't cut very well, I've seen a few where the cutouts for the camera and the charging port were too small for example.
Have a great day and enjoy your phone!
i have the Note 2 in graphite and the Note 10.1 3G also in graphite
i am toying with the idea of selling both and buying a Note 8 3G
oringonaly I sold my note 2 and bought a note 10.1 3g to use as my phone but 3 mobile block data by imei because they do not allow phone sims in tablets and you have to get a data package instead, bummer huh!!
anyway...once this was established I had to go get another note 2 which I have been using for several months.
does anyone know if this 8" device comes under phone or tablet?
also...have Samsung released the charcoal black or graphite version cos white just aint gonna fly
Thanks for your input
cheers

Have you considered the Note 3? It's a bit bigger than the Note 2 but smaller than the 8. Might work best for you based on your desire and your carrier issues.

Greetings all,
I am thinking of upgrading and replacing my GS3 with an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 from a third party dealer. I am in Southern California and a T-Mobile customer. Apparently there are several versions, the N900, N9000 and the LTE N9005. I am not sure which one I should purchase. My intention in getting an unlocked phone is so that in the future I can switch carriers easily if I choose. This is not something I expect to do any time soon, but it would be nice to have the option. Obviously, I also want the best performance. Any info would be appreciated.
Thank You,
--Jim

Samsung rep. mentioned : "China is not affected by the sales suspension." The company said it used a battery made by another supplier for the Note 7s sold in China.
I bought this model "SM-N930FD" from Hong Kong, I'm not sure if this is imported from another country as it's not officially sold in HK yet.
Can anyone confirm if this model is safe or not? Also would be great to know the Chinese models.
Mine is SM-N930FD bought from Dubai

Mine was bought in the US but made in China. Wonder if it will be part of the recall or not.
Canadian purchase (SD model) made in China.
why? Let Samsung complete their investigations.
I think "made in China" doesn't mean it's a Chinese model. Also FD model supports dual sim, not sure about the other models.
According to Samsung (through Yonhap: famous Korean source), they were relying on 2 battery suppliers. 1 supplier was the reason of this mess, Samsung didn't mention the name of the supplier but they said the battery is manufactured using a material that cause excessive heat when being charged. Chinese models were manufactured using the other supplier were no issues has been reported by users or Samsung. Also the company said sales wouldn't be interrupted in China.
The purpose of knowing the fine models is to avoid scams by sellers, I'm pretty sure there will be large drop on the prices of the faulty models.
SM-N930F

Mine is N930FD , made in vietnam. Bought it from Oman and csc is XSG (United Arab Emirates)

FD model Singapore variant as well. Requesting exchange from eBay seller as well. We will see. Not that concerned about it. Hopefully they release a list of serial numbers affected.

I have a UK N930F made in Vietnam, it's actually stone cold in comparison to my S6 it replaced.
I'm not worried about it, but if I can get a new replacement that is guaranteed not to have the problem I will take it just for peace of mind.

So manufactured in South Korea is probably a bad sign then?

possibly and possibly not, the only person who knows for sure is Samsung.

I know, from what I heard even Samsung doesn't know, which is why they are recalling them all.

it's probably easier at this point and gives more user confidence rather than picking and choosing out of the millions in the wild.
Would be great if the ones made in China are exempt
